This is a 1932 Lancia Dilambda. This particular car is known as the MM Roadster. I don't know what the MM refers to.

MM = Mille Miglia, I should think.

That's what I was thinking too, and a Lancia came 8th overall that year, a Lambda fitted with a Dilambda engine and driven by Strazza/Gismoli. Sadly, I can't find any photos of this car in period. That chassis looks awfully short for either model. No mistaking the front suspension, though.

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

That's it indeed, point awarded. I haven't been able to find a period pic either, does anyone know if the body is original ?
